Not Enjoying Reading
My son is 7. He doesn’t enjoy reading, and I know that’s a good reason why it’s so hard. I’m just looking for a way to get him to enjoy it. Please send anything that could be helpful to me.
I think it would be a good idea to break down the reading process again with your son. You say it is hard for him–perhaps starting over again with what the letters say, and how they blend together into words would be a good place to start. Many programs and teachers skip the blending process and go from alphabet sounds to reading. Re-teaching the blending process will help him understand the phonetic structure of the English language and show him how these letters fit together to make words. Make sure that he is reading phonetic books, not just pure sight words books. Hopefully that will help him understand the words he is reading, and make it seem less hard and more fun for him. Good luck.
